Planar Hull: Initial - Structural - Detail

For Planar Hull, there are three possible phases of model data:

1. Reference Surfaces (created in Initial Hull Design)

2. Design panels (created in Structural Hull Design)

3. Production panels (primarily used in Detail Hull Design)

Please see the picture below. See also the Hull User Guides for further details. The database keeps and maintains references between these three versions of the model.

It should be noted that the same element types are used for Design panels and Production panels, including their subordinate elements. There is an attribute to distinguish if the interrogated element is of one or the other type. In functions like Clasher, 3D Display, Mass Property Calculations there is an option to switch the obstruction between Design and Production view.
